I think I may have found another book to recommend

Loving our children on Purpose by Danny Silk

I HAVE NOT READ IT YET so if it is bad, please comment below!! But so far it looks totally GCM, but great for outreach because it comes from within the Christian mainstream (well, mainstream-ish; he's from Bethel church in Redding, CA and they're at the center of a huge revival so it's not totally typical

).

Just thought I'd put it out there for comments; I'm going to start reading it now, anyone who wants to read / comment along please do

It's awesome. I'm reading it right now and he has amazing things to say. It's kind of like Love and Logic Light. I know he did spank his first but he doesn't support spanking.

yeah, i just got to a bit where he reassures the readers he's not going to take away their spanking, but then everything from then on is about how to parent without punishing and maintaining the heart connection

It's subversive GBD

I'm about half-way now.

A couple of my irl friends were recommending it the other day. One thing they talked about that perked my ears up was having a toolbox filled with different tools. If someone came to build your house with only 15 different sized hammers you'd fire them! Yet that exactly what many parents have for the task of raising their child.

I've read it, a few times over

I loved it. It was a really great first GBD book to read to help us change out mindset.
